Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Birmingham over hearing dates between 23 February and 4 March 2026, considered Miss S Bennison's claims against BTL Industries Limited. The panel comprised Employment Judge Camp with Mrs W Ellis and Mr T Liburd. The claimant appeared in person; the respondent was represented by Mr M Cameron, a non-legal consultant.
The tribunal awarded the claimant £2,537.38 gross in respect of 3 1/2 days' accrued but untaken annual leave, the value of which was not in dispute. The remainder of the claimant's claims were dismissed: 'ordinary' unfair dismissal under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996; automatically unfair dismissal under section 103A; detriment for making protected disclosures; unauthorised deductions from wages in relation to commission and to an overpayment of commission; and compensation for accrued but untaken time off in lieu.
Summary reasons were given orally at the hearing. Written summary reasons were not requested at the hearing and will only be provided if requested within 14 days of the sending of the written record. The PDF available to the extractor contains only the judgment text and not the tribunal's reasoning, so the basis for each finding is not stated on the face of the document.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
